A Scandal of the Mild Type

The newspapers have got good deal of
amusement and gossip out of the Smith
Overton affair Col Nicholas Smith, who
married the favorite daughter of the late
Horace Greeley. is a Kentuckian, and is
chiefly noted for his handsome face and
figure. Mr.. Overton is an importer of
chino, is 67 years of age, and resides in
Brooklyn. Mr.. OvertoI was mar
ried to a Louisville (Ky.) lady a few
weeks ago, and Col. Smith was his grooms-
man. Col Smith had not very intimate
acquaintance with Mr. Overton, but went
from New York to Louisville to serve him
because he knew the family of the bride. A
few days ago Col Smith sent to Mr.. Over
ton bill for $3.50 for his expenses as
groomsman. Mr.. Overton was some
what surprised, because he thought
that Col. Smith was a wealthy
man, and he regarded the demand
for expenses under such circumstances as a
rather remarkable one. He, however, sent
Col Smith check for 500, thinking per-
haps it would cover all the Colonel's ex-
penses. 1t seems, however, that the latter
gentleman did not propose to have
his bill cut in that fashion, and a
rather spicy correspondence was begun,
which found its way into the newspapers.
Finally the two gentlemen began to be
quite abusive, and submitted to newspaper
interviews in which they talked about their
affair, and expressed their opinions of each
other pretty freely. The newspapers also
took hand in the matter on their own ac-
count and rresented soma alleoad facts IN,
| the career of Col. Smith. Itwas alleged that
he squandered all the money which Horace
Greeley left his two daughters and his sister,
long before his wife died, and that he was
about to marry wealthy Chicago widow.
The newspapers are still handling the
amusing little scandal. Mr. Overton says
that he isn't fighting man and doesn't de-
sire the Colonel's blood. He also says that
he has washed his hands of him and
proposes to SEEK rest in week or so in his
Paris house. Col. Smith, It is said intends
to sue Mr.. Overton for the balance of the
$3.50. He may, however, reach the conclu-
sion that Mr. Overton's financial response
bility is not great CROUCH to justify a suit
He closes his last communication to the press
with the assertion that Mr.. Overton's "mis-
take was in posing as three millionaire up
ON fractional interest in the small returns
of Brooklyn china shop" Mr.. Overton,
however, declares that he is worth several
hundred thousand dollars, and that he is
fully able to meet any Judgment which Col.
Smith may secure against him. 1t is re-
markable that people will insist upon wash
| ing their dirty linen in public.

Two Harvard Stories.
From the Cambridge Tribune.

FROM the Cambridge ITt0u1ie.
One fact points out conclusively that Harvard
is a national institution, and that those who
make up its body of students come from all re-
gions. This is the language used by new ar
rivals. Slang terms vary according 10 the differ
ent preparatory schools in different sections of
the country. One man will speak of using
cribs" another will study his lesson with the
help OF ''trots," and third will come to class
riding on pony" In the same way funk

the man learns to say: II am not prepared to.

Not daring to call it Gore Hall, for fear the
stranger might connect it with Bloody Monday

The Siouxs.

From the Chicago MGu.
A wandering tribe, called the Siouxs,
Wear moccasins, having no shiouxs;
They are made of buckskin,
With the fleshy side in,
Embroidered with beads of bright hiouxs.
When out on the warpath, the Siouxs
March single file-never by twiouXs-
And by blazing the trees
Can return at their ease,
And their way in the forest ne'er liouxs.
All new-fangled boats he eschiouxs,
And uses the birch bark caniouxs;
They are handy and light,
And inverted at night,
Give shelter from storms and from diouxs.
The principal food of the Siouxs
Is Indian maize, which they briouxG.
Or hominy make,
Or mix cake,
And eat it with pork as they chiouxs.
Now doesn't this spelling look ciouxrious?
Ills enough to make anyone tiouxrious!
So a word to the wise;
Pray our language revise
With photography not so injouxriousi

1t is understood that there is great deal
of opposition on the part CT Liberty street
property holders to the paving Of only one
side of that street. 1t is apparent that no
paving will be done ON the street at all, or
only at the end of a lawsuit, if some plan
for paving it that will be generally satisfac-
tory to the property owners is not adopted.
Is it not possible to adopt plan that will
be satisfactory? Let the committee Of
Council that has jurisdiction of street paw
ing have a consultation with committee OF
the property holders, with a view of reach
ing some agreement.
Why not pave both sides of the street
There is no necessity for a roadway wider
than 20 feet on either side. Let the side
walks be widened little, and the unoccu.
pied part of the street be sowr in grass. A
wide green strip in the center, or little
green plats on the sides, with large vase
here and there containing plants, would
make the street one of the handsomest in the
country. Let the committee think of this
suggestion, and it may find it advisable tc
adopt it, or some other equally satisfactory
one. A little tact and good judgment will
help the committee wonderfully in this
matter.

The Municipal contest in Boston.

|
Boston dignity has just emerged from
very trying ordeal, but VIGOROUSLY. The
! prospect of a municipal squabble hung over
the city for several days, and it looked at
| one time as if the homo of learning would be
| turned into political battlefield, on which,
metaporically speaking, would flow indis-
criminately the blue blood of the literati
and scientists and the red flood of the
pugilists
The present Mayor OF Boston is Mr..
Hugh O'Brien, and the next election occurs
on Dec. Is. Mr.. OBrien, who is Demo-
crat, seems to have earned the disapproval
of the Republicans, and a sprinkling of
Democrats. His opponents have not been
able to put their fingers on any overt act OF
his that calls for his retirement, but they
have indefinite impressions that he ought to
retire They are unable to show that he
has not managed his office well, and reduced
taxation, but they bring some charges
against him, one of which is that he de-
graded the city by making it appear the
patron of such men as Sullivan rather than
of Longfellow, Holmes and Whittier, when
he took part in public meeting in honor
of the pugilist This would appear to be
matter for which they were equally respon-
sibe, since the city itself on one occasion
presented Mr. Sulliven with a diamond
studded belt, presumably in recognition
of the manner in which he illustrated her.
Mr.. O'Brien has again been nominated by
the Democrats. and it was the policy of his
opponents to unite or some Democrat who
i md OF ha
same time be satisfactory to the Republi-
cans Ex-Gov. CASTOR was decided upon,
bat he declined, and the citizens meeting
nominated Mr.. Nathaniel j. Bradlee. Mr..
Bradlee was not acceptable to the Republi-
cans, who nominated a strict party man,
Mr.. Thomas N. Hart, their defeated candi-
date in the last election. Mr.. Bradlee in
the meantime declined, and taking advant-
age of the situation Mr.. Hart accepted, in a
letter, saving that ''if elected he would con-
slider himself the servant of the people at
large, without regard to politics, creed, color
or nationality.
Here was a bait set for the Citizens party,
and the result is that instead of union on
a Democrat who would draw from his party,
the union is on a Republican who cannot
hope to maze any very great improvement
on the canvass in which he was defeated.
The Republicans are expressing their
chagrin at what they call the stupidity of
the management on their side, while the
Democrats are congratulating themselves
that they have as good politicians in their
ranks as the occasion calls for. AS Mr..
O'Briens majority over Mr. Hart last year,
when there was a Labor candidate in the
field, was 1850, there is no reason to doubt
that it will be increased in the approaching
election, as there is no third candidate
The danger of squabble is averted, and
Boston's dignity has resumed its usual
serenity.

Everytime a sudden death is announced
in any of the localities to which immigrants
from the choera-infected ships, Britannia
or Alesia, have gone there in pretty certain
to be alarm about cholera. A day or two
ago i'll Youngstown, O., James Donaldson
died rather suddenly, and it was also said
that his wife, who washed his clothes, died
after a few hours illness. There was soon a
rumor that Donaldson came to this country
on one of the ships which had cholera on
board, and there was at once fears of
cholera epidemic in Youngstown. 1t does
not appear. however, that the man was ever
on board of either the Britannia or the
Alesia. Health Officer Smith, of New
York, made careful inquiry, and stated
that no such name as that of Donaldson APP
peared on the lists of immigrants who came
to this country on those ships. There is no
doubt that it would be much the wiser plan
to prevent immigrants from cholera-in-
fected districts Of Europe from landing in
this country.

The New York Sun insists on abiding to
Mr.. Childs as George Washington Childs,
although his name is George William. Ge-
MUS always has its eccentricities, and one OF
Mr. Dana's is to invent for his friends
names that he believes to be in accord with
their natures. The New York Star tells
how Mr. Childs got his name. HE is the
son of an English Quaker. When he was
born, William " was King of England,
and during the most of the lifetime of the
elder Childs the name of England's King
was George. What more natural than that
the babe should be named William in honor
of the reigning monarch, and George in
honor of the four Kings who had ruled
over England before him."

The New Congressional Library.

From he Anlerican Architect.
The Congressional Library at Washington
will cover 111,000 square feet. more than two
and half acres. Mr. Smithmeyer, to whom the
library has been intrusted, has carried on elabo-
rate tests of the resisting power of the soil on
which it will stand. A loaded car was brought
to bear on the earth of the excavated trenches
in such way as to prove that the resistance
was equal to thirteen and half tons to the
square foot AS the estimated weight of the
square foot, the chances of subsistence of the
walls and consequent disasters are reduced to a
minimum. The German Parliament house
covers 10000 square feet, the Royal Library at
Munich $1,000, the library of the British Museum

The Kentucky Legislature convenes Dec.

cinnati Enquirer, sis to re-elect Mr.. Beck

appropriation bills" Though its existence
is ordinarily limited to sixty days, it can by
concurrent resolution prolong the session in
definitely, and it will doubtless use its
power in this direction. The experience of
the country is that Legislatures do not
adjourn as long as they can decently help

Should Divorces be Published or Not


from The Court Journal.
The meeting of the National Vigilance Society
betrayed q remarkable divergence of opinion
among the promoters of social purity. Nearly
every speaker began by confuting the senti-
ments of his immediate predecessor, and q run
ter proceeded from Socialists and others in the
body of the hall and the gallery. The Earl of
Meath, better known as Lord Brabazon, spoke
strongly against the publication of divorce re-
ports, and urged that the young people should
be kept in ignorance of much that was being
thrust upon their notice. The Rev. Mr. Hughes,
on the other hand, declared that there was moth
not be kept in ignorance of wrong. He was
against false modesty and the policy of silence.
